Chapter 53: The Hunt (Part 2)

Cui Linjiang previously invited a group of respected business leaders, and then according to Han Yu's method, at dawn he made people pretend to be evil ghosts and wait on the way for Liu Yancai to come, and he was really fooled when he was a thief, and confided the truth in a panic, and completely confessed Tao Yi's crime, but soon realized that Liu Yancai, who had been deceived, wanted to play tricks and shirk it, and when he saw a group of indifferent business leaders, he seemed to be a deflated ball and paralyzed to the ground for a while.

Cui Linjiang did not make a noise, but personally led people to arrest Tao Yi, but when they arrived, they found that the tent had been empty, leaving only Yuan Ke who was lying on the ground in panic, Cui Linjiang frowned slightly, thinking that someone had leaked the news, but soon learned from Yuan Ke that Tao Yi had gone out to relieve his hands and had not returned, Cui Linjiang probed with his hand and found that the bedding was still warm, and immediately let people tie up Yuan Ke, who is likely to be the same party, and then immediately took people to chase.

It was also Cui Linjiang's bad luck, if he came a little earlier or a little late, he would be able to capture Tao Yi steadily, when he ordered someone to tie Yuan Ke away, and when everyone came out of the tent, he happened to be just relieved and came back, and Tao Yi, who was trembling all over, hid on the side to see the truth, seeing Cui Linjiang come to arrest people so blatantly, Tao Yi, who has always been cunning, immediately thought that something must have happened to Liu Yancai, and the soft bones may not last two times and will confess him.

One wrong step and all the plates are lost, Tao Yi's face is distorted, it looks extremely hideous, in order to mix into the Zhang family to occupy the talented and beautiful eldest lady, as soon as possible to embezzle the Zhang family's property, these years to do cattle and do the next point, five years passed in a flash, it was not easy to mix up some status at home, originally on the way to Xuzhou had planned everything, planning to cook raw rice into rice, and it was about to come true, but I didn't expect the chicken to fly eggs at the last moment, Tao Yi hated Han Yu who did bad things to the extreme, but now it is still important to save his life, He didn't have the courage to return to the tent to pick up the trays and clothes, and went in the opposite direction that Cui Linjiang led people to search.

Cui Linjiang led people to chase and search all the way, but there was no trace of Tao Yi at all, presumably in the wrong direction, according to the time calculation, the thief must have escaped, he scattered his subordinates to continue to search, and asked the businessmen and their families who had just gotten up along the way, but still found nothing, in desperation, Cui Linjiang rushed to the place where Han Yu was imprisoned, shook off the iron lock that had just been unlocked, and sighed: "It's all my fault that Lao Cui is useless, let the Tao Yi run away!" ”

"Uncle Cui, can you tell me what happened?" Tao Yi is cunning, naturally he will not run away on foot stupidly, if Cui Linjiang chases his horse, I am afraid it will not take long to catch up, so he will definitely ride his horse to escape, so if you want to pursue Tao Yi, you just need to determine which direction there is a horse to leave.

The two of them talked as they walked, and after quickly listening to Cui Linjiang's process of chasing before and after, Han Yu suddenly became confident, it seemed that Tao Yi was more embarrassed than imagined when he fled, and he was undressed and penniless, it was very likely that Tao Yi had not yet obtained the escape horse, and he was still hiding in the caravan.

The sky has not yet dawned, the air is still a little cold, Tao Yi, who was trembling all the way to the west of the camp in only single clothes, so he chose this direction because most of the horses were tethered to the trees on this side, as Han Yu guessed, Tao Yi planned to ride his horse to escape, so as not to be caught up by Cui Linjiang on horseback.

"Isn't this Brother Tao?" Just when Tao Yi passed by a tent, suddenly a bearded man in his early thirties who was dressed in ordinary linen clothes and looked quite energetic walked out of the tent with some firewood, and happened to meet Tao Yi in single clothes.

This bearded man in his early thirties is named Fu Zhiyi, he is warm and cool, he is an honest jade merchant, this time he took his wife and children to Xuzhou together, he had a few times before, Tao Yi also knew, although he was in a hurry to escape from the camp, but he still pretended to be calm and hugged his fists and chuckled: "It turned out to be Brother Fu, the sky is slightly bright, I heard the ancestors say that the purple qi from the east is a good time to breathe and cultivate, how to stay in the tent to rest!" ”

"Who's outside the husband? The baby is a little hungry! Fu Zhiyi was just about to answer, when a comfortable female voice suddenly came from inside the tent.

"Okay, I'll come right away, wait for my husband to chop these firewoods, and then bury the pot and make rice!" Fu Zhiyi flashed a smile, his wife and children were more important to her than business, but his wife didn't want him to go on the road alone, leaving her eldest son to be taken care of by the neighbors, and she followed her with her newborn child.

Tao Yi looked at the two horses tethered to the tree not far away, anxious but his face was not moving, for fear of being seen by Fu Zhiyi, seeing that the sky was getting brighter, I am afraid that there would be no way to escape at that time, suddenly a trace of fierce color skills flashed in his eyes, Tao Yi stopped Fu Zhiyi, who was going to pick up an axe to chop wood, and said with a hearty chuckle: "Brother Fu, how can you not obey the order of my brother and sister-in-law, it just so happens that I need to move my muscles and bones, and I still need to do it on my behalf!" ”

"How does this work!" Fu Zhiyi hurriedly shirked it, this Tao Yi is a servant of a rich family, and he may have to find him to dredge up the relationship in the future, how can he be allowed to do such a rough job.

"It's okay, it's really okay!" Tao Yi's face was full of friendly smiles, and he had already reached out to catch the axe for chopping wood.

"Thank you, brother, I'm going to stay for a few drinks later!" Fu Zhiyi saw that he couldn't refuse, if he continued to say it, he was afraid that he would hurt his face, let go of the axe in his hand and thanked him again, turned around and walked to the front of the tent just opened the curtain and was about to speak, suddenly snorted miserably, and suddenly fell to the ground, Fu Zhiyi turned his head in disbelief to look at Tao Yi, who had a hideous face, and actually slammed his back with an axe, and blood gushed for a while.

"You... You!!! Fu Zhiyi's eyes widened, and he really didn't understand why Tao Yi did this.

Tao Yi ignored the woman in the tent who was screaming at her husband's tragic death, and calmly pulled out the axe. "Die!" Smashed down again, this time hit Fu Zhiyi's head, and suddenly red and white things were scattered all over the ground, kicking away the corpse that fell in a pool of blood, Tao Yi, who was covered in blood with an ax in his hand, opened the tent and walked in, took a look at the frightened woman and the swaddling baby who was crying, and immediately picked up the axe and slashed down again.

"Don't hurt my child!" The woman hugged the baby tightly and turned her back to Tao Yi in an attempt to block the slam blow.

There was a muffled sound, the woman who was cut screamed, and the bloody wound on her back suddenly splattered blood, and the corners of her mouth overflowed with dark red blood, trembling slightly a few times and soon lost her breath, but the woman who had lost her breath was still holding the baby in her arms.

Tao Yi, who had already killed the red-eyed, obviously did not intend to let go of the baby, pulled out the axe that kept dripping blood, and raised it high at the head of the baby who was crying, and at the moment of a moment, the tent door curtain was suddenly lifted, and a crossbow arrow roared, suddenly piercing Tao Yi's throat, blood splashed, and the weak corpse fell to the ground softly, full of unwilling eyes looking at Han Yu and Cui Linjiang who rushed into the tent, and swallowed in grief and unwillingness.
